Basic Goodbye
Her heart was shattered by the cruel things he said
She went right for his pride and ripped it to shreds
He said I never really loved you, she said I don't really care
Lord, you'd never even know love ever lived there
It's just your basic goodbye
Just your plain old everyday don't let the door hit you goodbye
Just your average farewell
To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known, farewell
Somebody's setting fire to a bridge tonight
It's front row at an Ali-Frazier fight
Barnum and Bailey should have bought the rights
It's just your basic goodbye
When you first fall in love, it's forever time
Then one day it happens and you don't know why
Sweet nothings turn into such mean, bitter words
And insults start flying like you never heard
It's just your basic goodbye
Just your plain old everyday don't let the door hit you goodbye
Just your average farewell
To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known, farewell
Somebody's setting fire to a bridge tonight
It's front row at an Ali-Frazier fight
Barnum and Bailey should have bought the rights
It's just your basic goodbye
Just your average farewell
To what you thought would be the greatest love you'd ever known, farewell
Somebody's setting fire to a bridge tonight
It's front row at an Ali-Frazier fight
Barnum and Bailey should have bought the rights
It's just your basic goodbye
